WELCOME

“Dear Lord,
Grant me awareness of my many mistakes.
Don't allow me to live deluded about
myself.
May I have enough lucidity to know who I
am.
May I achieve more than others, detect the
weaknesses that are common to me.
Give me your strength so that I can
overcome myself, your light so I don't walk
in darkness, your peace in the struggle that
afflicts me.
May I always be sincere in my purposes and humble in
my attitudes, true in my words and faithful to my
commitments.
Lord, do not leave me to the invigilance and harassment
of evil.
Be my shelter and my inspiration!...
So be it."
Let’s pray

How we became
Meimei Coquitlam Society

Where was Meimei born?
• Meimei was born in the city of Mateus Leme, in
Minas Gerais, on October 22, 1922.
• Daughter of Adolfo Castro and Mariana de Castro,
she had four more siblings: Ruth, Alaíde, Danilo and
Carmem.
• When she was two years old, her family moved to
Itaúna – MG.

Childhood
• She lost her father at the age of five.
• Her parents were poor, but Irma stood out for having
very unusual beauty and remarkable intellect.
• She was always an intelligent and pure-hearted child.
• She had a great thirst for knowledge and read many
books that fed her spirit.

Youth
• Meimei was raised in an environment of poverty.
• She was extremely modest and high-spirited.
• She loved children and had a strong desire – to be a
mother.
• She discovered she had chronic nephritis during this
period and this disease compromised her studies.
• She was recognized for being very beautiful.

Meimei's illness and her suffering
• The illness Meimei suffered is due to a kidney
problem that accompanied her for years.
• In the second year of elementary school, she was
forced to abandon her studies due to nephritis –
inflammation that affects the renal tubules and the
tissues surrounding the kidneys.

Marriage with Arnaldo
• Meimei moved to Belo Horizonte when she was 20
years old with her sister Alaíde, looking for a job.
• Right after moving, she met Arnaldo, and that's
when their story began.
• On June 10, 1942, 4 years after they met, they got
married in the church of São Jose, in Belo Horizonte.
• She gave the bouquet to a homeless.

Marriage with Arnaldo
• At the time of the marriage, Meimei was 22 years old.
• The marriage only lasted 2 years and, even though the
time was short, the two were very happy.
• In fact, according to Chico Xavier, Meimei had been
helping Arnaldo on his evolutionary journey for many
centuries who became an important spiritist.

What does the word Meimei mean?
• She had been kindly nicknamed that way by her
husband Arnaldo.
• In fact, they both called each other Meimei. The
inspiration for the name came after reading the
book Moment in Pekin, by Lin Yutang.
• The word Meimei means “pure love”.

Mediumship
• Meimei had clairvoyant mediumship, talked to
spirits and recalled scenes from the past.
• It was common to see Meimei, looking lost in time.
In those moments, Arnaldo looked and thought:
“She’s delirious.”
• She was used to say: “Naldinho, I see scenes, and
we are inside them; happened at a certain time in
the city…”.Arnaldo, at the time, was materialist.

Meimei and the children
Meimei became a teacher and started performing that
with children.
She loved little ones and had a strong desire to be a
mother.
However, this wish was not fulfilled due to her brief
departure.

Discarnation
• Few months after her marriage to Arnaldo Rocha,
she was struck again by nephritis.
• This condition worsened, leading to other
complications, such as hypertension.
• As a result, Meimei began to lose her vision and got
completely blind before she passed.

Discarnation
• Still, she had visions of her late grandmother, who said
she would come for her soon.
• Meimei passed away on October 1, 1946, she was 24.
• She felt a severe bleeding in her lung.
• Arnaldo then went in search of a doctor to help her and
when he returned home, his loved one had already left.

Arnaldo Rocha healing with his brother and mother’s help
• Meimei tries to console Arnaldo before her death.
• Arnaldo was very sad for several years.
• His brother was a spiritist and invited him to his house.
• Arnaldo was consoled but did not believe yet.
• His mother gives him the Spirit’s Book.
(From the book: “Meimei - Vida e Mensagem” by Arnaldo Rocha, Chico Xavier e Wallace Rodrigues)

Arnaldo Rocha meets Chico Xavier
• One day walking in the street with his brother
Orlando, they met Chico Xavier.
• Chico Xavier talks to Arnaldo about Meimei.
• Meimei talks in the Spiritist meeting.
• Arnaldo Rocha becomes a Spiritist.

Meimei and her spiritual experience
• Through psychographic works and messages we learn
what Meimei is doing in the spiritual realm.
• Blandina from “Hail, Christ!” (Ave, Cristo!).
• “Lar das Bênçãos” (“Home of the Blessings”)
“Between Heaven and Earth”(Entre a Terra e o Céu).

Books dictated by Meimei

Meimei and the phenomenon of materialization
• Arnaldo tells us the story that one day Meimei appeared to him and he could touch
her. This is called phenomenon of materialization.
• One night he smelled a very pleasant parfum, similar to the one Meimei liked to use.
• Slowly the hallway became very bright and then, he saw her.
• “She looked at me, greeted me and walked to where I was sitting. Her clothing was
very soft and translucid. She was very beautiful, stunning. I stood up to hug her and
felt her spiritual heart beating. We fraternally kissed, and she touched my face and
played with my ears, of course.”
(From the book “Mandato de Amor” by Chico Xavier, Arnaldo Rocha narrates this fact.)

Conclusion
• Meimei has always been a spirit of light, who helped and continues to
help those around her.
• Through spiritist literature, she teaches us about love and strengthens
our faith in the higher plane, as reflected in this message:
“Let us not forget that the forest was created from almost
invisible seeds, that the river is formed from tiny springs and
that the light of Heaven, within ourselves, begins from tiny
rays of love to radiate from our hearts.”

Our eternal
gratitude to
